i'm just saying that if i was kidnapped, tortured and killed, my broken body dumped to rot in the dirt next to the people i failed to protect, and my brilliant and terrifying goth crush came to look for me, and saw me, and understood me, and gave me what i wanted without having to ask, gave me fangs and claws and my murderers at my feet, gave me the power i never had in life, gave me the justice i never got in death, gave me the pure catharsis of letting the bastards get what they deserve without worrying my pretty head about anything else, i would also look at him like he hung the moon in the sky until the end of time. and what of it

i can't fully relate to any takes that treat wei wuxian raising wen ning as a fierce corpse as a straightforwardly violating/reprehensible act, bc like. yes sure there are lines that should not be crossed and these two are full speed drifting over them in circles, and the fact that consequences are still real but their long-term planning is for a few hours ahead tops, and the inescapable power imbalance this event creates between them, and the obvious danger of not only letting someone have full control over you but blindly trusting them to handle it, and obligatory murder is bad don't do it at home kids. but it's not like wei wuxian only used wen ning's body as a convenient tool to vent his frustration without sparing a thought for wen ning's own feelings on the matter? as if it's not explicitly framed as an ultimate power fantasy fueled by wen ning's OWN anger and desire for revenge that wei wuxian is giving him a chance to fulfill?? it's always “remember that wen ning is powered by resentment and not a pure uwu sunshine boy” to argue that he's secretly a bitch or something, but when his spirit is taking revenge on the fucking. labor camp officers who beat him to death in a dedicated torture shack suddenly it's “wrong” and “bad” and “disrespectful” and “how could wei wuxian do this to him“? smh. wei wuxian crawled out of a mass grave as a vengeful ghost himself!! HE GETS IT! HE GETS IT!!! they're each other's worst enablers because there are things they understand about each other better than anyone else!
